If you buy a TRU-Ball it doesn't stop there either! With the free lifetime warranty simply send it back they'll return it, as good as new, at no charge.

I took advantage of this when my 1st and best release started to misfire a year or so ago...they fixed her right up no questions asked!

I've had the same release for 4 years, on issues so far. The only thing is it has the velcro strap, and the velcro is wearing out. I like to pick one up with the buckle in the near future.

I am not sure, I keep loosing the ones I have before they go bad? The last one I left out there after taking it off to dress the deer I just shot. Went back the next day and the coyotes must have drup it off with the rest of the deer that was completely gone. Or somebody else happened to stumble upon it and take it with them.

On the fourth season with my cobra, still works fine except the velcro is getting a little shaggy.

I am pretty sure the one my dad uses, and I have some of the season as well, is a Winn Free Flight and is about 18 years old. Still looks and works great. The buck I got today with it can attest to that....

I have had my Scott release for 12 years taken many thousands of shots with it.

I had used a fletchunter for 12 years. When my accuracy starting taking a turn for the worse I started looking for answers. Finally I bought a new tru-ball and viola problem solved. I used to think that if it held and release ok it was fine. But than again maybe it was all in my head
